Is a licensed technition required to administer a heparine flush to a picc line?
I was receiving an IV drip of antibiotics thru a picc line .I was told by this homecare company that a layman like myself was able to administer this IV, and then flush the picc line. The flush being saline 10cm and then a flush of heparine 2cm. my question pertains to this matter as the picc line became infected on the second day of use.
